Carloha Applauded for Boosting Women’s Football Legacy
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has lauded Carloha Nigeria for its ongoing support of Nigerian football, particularly following the Super Falcons’ historic 10th title win at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
The automobile company, which is the official distributor and assembler of Chery vehicles in Nigeria, hosted the victorious Falcons at its showroom in Alapere, Lagos, last week — a gesture that the NFF says reflects a deep commitment to national development through sports.
NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau, described the partnership as a model of corporate patriotism during the celebratory event.
“We are proud to partner with Carloha and Chery towards the development of sports in Nigeria,” Gusau stated.
“The Super Falcons’ victory reinforces the importance of investing in our national teams. Carloha’s support exemplifies corporate patriotism, and we believe this partnership marks the beginning of a fruitful and impactful relationship.”
The event underscored how private-sector sponsorship is becoming vital to strengthening Nigerian women’s football, as traditional funding streams face increasing pressure.
Sola Adigun, Managing Director of Carloha Nigeria, said the brand’s partnership with the NFF is not limited to sponsorship alone but also aims to inspire communities and elevate local talent.
“It is a great honour to welcome our champions, the Super Falcons, whose victory is a source of inspiration to all Nigerians. Our partnership with the NFF is built on shared values—excellence, resilience, and national pride. This celebration goes beyond football; it is about believing in what’s possible when we unite behind a vision,” Adigun said.
Super Falcons captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, speaking on behalf of the team, praised Carloha for not just acknowledging their achievement but also investing emotionally and practically in women’s football.
“We’re grateful not just for this victory, but for being seen, celebrated, and supported by brands like Carloha. It means the world to us. This win is for Nigeria and for everyone who continues to believe in the power of women’s football,” she said.
